I guess what we're trying to say is if anyone in CA wants certain performance upgrades they're going to have to get them from out of state and take them off every 2 years or have a friend that does smog testing to get your registration. Good to know and that you can pass smog testing with them.

The smog tec/owner saw the Edge EZ under the hood and said it was illegal. I went on the CARB web site and the EZ is not on their approved list. I've been dealing with this SMOG station for 16yr. I send them business and they take care of me. Katoom, I see you have RV275 injectors. How are they working for you with the EZ?

Or throw it under the seat for a cheap backup.

You must be going to Glamis or Ocotillo and that's a hard drive back on 8. I've done it a few times pulling my 8k lb 5er. I'm running an Edge EZ with a boost elbow but I got it before the California Air Resource Board (CARB) out lawed it. A lot of the programmers are outlawed here and when you bring your truck in for the biannual SMOG inspection it will fail if they see the programmer on it. It will also fail if any smoke is seen during the 'snap' test so be carful on the size of the injector.

Good! Because he's still hungry.

I'm going there August 18-23, then again in October were I hope to see JAG1 again.

Thanks, The chart is generic but will work for a dodge truck. I recharged a 2006 Volvo S60 last Friday with out side temp of 102° low side of 15psi and high side of 150psi, put in 16 oz into a 1.6 lb system. The low side never went above 35psi and the high side went to 300psi. The duct temp was 20°. So by that chart the low side should have been 50-55psi. Is that with or without rear evaporator?

Picture to help with cool thoughts during the dog days of summer.

I'd dump a can in and see how long it holds. If over a year then stay with that, if less than a year then repair the leak. O-ring kit at O'Reilly's. You'll also need a spring lock coupling tool to get the lines apart. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/search/A!s!C+System+O-Ring+&+Gasket+Kit/06500/C0320.oap?year=2000&make=Dodge&model=Ram%2B2500&vi=1361999&keyword=a!s!c+o-rings

You probably have a small leak at the evaporator (heat exchanger inside) and/or the O-rings at the connections are 'dried out'. The best way would be to leak test the system, reclaim, repair, evacuate and recharge with the proper amount cost about $80-$? depending on what's leaking or for about $20+ you can top it off yourself. It's not hard to recharge/top up the A/C system, but best to use a pressure gauge so you can see if there is a problem with the expansion valve or compressor and all so not to over charge the system. If it's cool now you probably need 1 12oz can to top it off but with pressure gauges you can use the chart below to get close to max fill. Walmart sells recharge cans with low pressure gauge. http://www.walmart.com/c/kp/r134a-recharge-kits

You can see the solder pulled away from the pin connectors on the board from all of the hot/cold cycles. I re-solder them, put the case back together an seal it with clear RTV.

After I cut Volvo ABS control modules open for repair I reseal them with clear RTV. I've never had a problem with water infiltration.

So no lose of power or hard starting? Looks like you've taken care of fuel delivery and air intake should not be a problem. That leaves compression and camshaft timing/profile. Sounds almost like a gasser with a mild race cam.

Heated and cooled cup holders! You're right, it does have everything. I got to get me some of those. It's a clean looking ride. I can't own a car like that, I'd have to many speeding tickets. Have fun with it.

If it had been stolen here, 50 minuets later it would be in Tijuana driven by some "bato".

Just past my Federally mandated biannual physical for my CDL. I'm good for another 2 years to tow doubles in CA.

What I've found is I'll drain a lot more fluid if the vehicle has sat over night. This allows the fluid in the trans body to drain into the pan for 12+ hours. You can get up to an extra quart out of it.

SAY IT AIN' T SO

I've been over filling Dana 1030 and 1031 for over 45 years and I haven't seen one leak because of it. I know not the same as a Dana 60, 70 or 80 but just saying.

If the fuse, relay and wires (ohm and volt test) are good and a new solenoid installed, I'd put in a mystery switch and bypass the PCM and force the lockup. If that doesn't make it lock up then it's probably a bad torque converter clutch or low pressure to the clutch.

Looks like what you need to do is just reseal the area where the wires go through. I'd try this: clean thoroughly and clean again the area in question with brake clean and acetone, you want any fuel, oil and grease gone, rough surface with sand paper for better bond. Coat with J-B Weld™. Sets in 4-6 hr and cures in 15-24 hr. There's J-B® Kwick Weld™ that sets in 6 minutes and cures in 4-6 hr.

From: My Brain to Yours Wire Service Date Line: Washington D.C. By: IBMobile In the aftermath of July,14th truck terror attack in Nice, France the Congresswoman Ida Gutahafmine D-RI introduced a bill in the House of Representatives to register all large trucks and have a special license to operate them. Also proposed in the bill would be the removal of all assault trucks from all roads and fuel tanks limited to 10 gallons. When the Honorable Gutahafmine was informed that all trucks are now registered, operators have a commercial driver's license, there is no such thing as an assault truck and interstate commerce would come to a stand still with a 10 gallon limit , She was heard to say "never mind".
